Matthew 19:3-6
Holman Christian Standard Bible
3 Some Pharisees approached Him to test Him. They asked, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife on any grounds?”(A)
4 “Haven’t you read,” He replied, “that He who created[a] them in the beginning made them male and female,”(B)[b] 5 and He also said:
“For this reason a man will leave
his father and mother
and be joined to his wife,
and the two will become one flesh?(C)[c]
6 So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has joined together, man must not separate.”
